Your thoughts on LOGO?

   When I heard MTV was coming out with a gay channel I was excited, but now I don't watch it that much because i'm growing increasingly irritated with the crap they put on.They show the same things over and over everday.I read online a while back that they greenlit a new line of programming that never came.Earlier this year they were airing this promo with a montage of the new shows coming, but only a few have.They only put something new on every once in a while and the seasons are so short.

What really gets under my skin is the stuff they show from other channels.On another topic in this forum Michael said the channel considered puting on MTV's Undressed, but didn't because it was to young for the demographic they were aiming for and since they can only aquire the rights to so many shows they went for Queer as folk and Bad girls instead.There are so many things wrong with that decision and that response.Why can they only aquire the rights to so many shows?Why is it a problem to get shows owned by the same company(MTV/LOGO/Viacom)?

Most of the storylines on Undressed involve people college age and up.What's wrong with more youth oriented programming even it's geared toward the under 18 set?You know, there are gay kids out there who watch TV too.What about them?I watched Undressed around that age.I'd rather see that than Will & Grace.It was just as good a show, better with respect to gay affection and not being watered down, and was definately more reflective of my life.

Instead of putting on better shows with more prominent gay characters like The N's South of nowhere, also owned by Viacom, they put on crap like Bob and Rose and Wonderfalls.Wasn't the point of this channel so we could be front and center?But a lot of the movies and shows they air have ephemeral gay content and peripheral gay characters.I was really pissed when I heard Noah's arc wasn't coming back for another season.Why would they cut their best show?

I don't know what kind of geniuses they have in charge of programming at that channel, but they need to get it together and start making some better choices.I've never contacted Michael Jensen before but I read Best gay week ever every week, and love it.I'd really like to know what you think as well and if you can answer my questions.
